We recently hosted an inspiring event in partnership with Women in Business, dedicated to empowering young girls from our local community. Fifteen different organizations, each represented by a remarkable woman from a range of industries, set up interactive stalls. Year 5 pupils from six primary schools joined us, exploring hands-on activities that offered a real taste of various careers.
Lunchtime featured a delightful afternoon tea, which the children loved. Afterward, the girls gathered to hear from a brilliant panel of women who shared their personal career journeys - full of insight, ambition, and empowerment. Later, Y Focussed led a dynamic session highlighting key leadership skills in an engaging and fun way.
As the event wrapped up, the energy was electric - our young attendees were buzzing with excitement, chattering enthusiastically about their bright futures. It was truly heartening to see them so inspired and hopeful!
